The Application Process

If you live in the Houston area, apply as a volunteer through our Houston Chapter, following the steps outlined below.  If you are accepted,  we will prepare you for your Latin American assignment. 

Step one:
Become familiar with the program, to confirm your interest.  Explore this web site, and attend one of our scheduled orientation briefings in October with a parent.

Step two:
If Amigos is for you, then after the orientation briefing schedule an interview for yourself and at least one parent or guardian.

Step three:
Begin a new on-line application.  The SAVE button at the bottom takes you through successive pages of the application. 

You may exit and later return to your application to revise or complete it, logging on with the same email address you submitted on the first page of the application, and with the password you created there. 

Step four:
Complete the on-line application before your interview, and print it.  At your interview appointment, bring the application fee of $75 (check payable to Amigos - Houston Chapter), one parent, and all of the forms provided in the application packet.  A checklist is available at our forms page, however the forms are not.
